Fourth Place

We Shall be Free taken from the Glenn Hughes album "First Underground Nuclear Kitchen" - This is my version - At times life is unkind and I have fallen into pits of darkness and sorrow seeing no pathway back to life I have been so blind not seeing into the infinite not seeing my future 'morrows so, I am removing life's knife I am faint with regret as I crawl up into the bright sunlight This life can be quite short or it can be long and painful to the end regarding my path I comtemplate who do I want to be as I crawl up into the bright sunlight I am faint with regret I feel happy fluttering like a butterfly whirling like a hummingbird the sky of my life is limitless I am creating roots exploring my many talents soon, I shall be free At times life is unkind and I have fallen into pits of darkness and sorrow seeing no pathway back to life I have been so blind not seeing into the infinite not seeing my future 'morrows so, I am removing life's knife I am faint with regret as I crawl up into the bright sunlight I feel happy fluttering like a butterfly whirling like a hummingbird the sky of my life is limitless I am creating roots exploring my many talents soon, I shall be free as I crawl up into the bright sunlight I am faint with regret I feel happy fluttering like a butterfly whirling like a hummingbird the sky of my life is limitless I am creating roots exploring my many talents soon, I shall be free yes, I shall be free I shall be free

So inspiring to read this Constance we can cherish our choices that we make in life breaking the chains that persist in harming us. We have the choice and the will to be free and sometimes not knowing we are our worst enemies dwelling in a dark place not knowing we have the key to unlock those chains that keep us in that dark place. This one is a favorite Constance for the hope it gives each soul that needs to rise above the dark clouds to the beautiful heavens...Hugs...
